Which of the following regulatory procedures transfers wealth from consumers to producers?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Import quotas and tariffs limit the supply of foreign goods, causing prices to rise and ultimately transferring wealth from consumers to producers. This is because consumers must pay a higher price for the limited supply of goods and the producers who benefit from the import quotas and tariffs can charge higher prices since foreign competition is restricted. Efficiency wages, transactions costs, and deadweight loss do not necessarily transfer wealth from consumers to producers.
